We are a creative bunch, who love interiors and gardens, history and architecture, as well as great food and the best ingredients. For us this is an ever evolving project, that takes much inpiration from our travels aborad. James is a photographer specilaising in Interiors, Architecture, Portraiture and Lifetsyles, Joanna is a designer and cook, and we work as a team driving all elements of our businesses, creating all our interiors and visual aesthetic. We love to dig, renovate and decorate, keeping things fresh, contemporary and inspired, but with a strong eye on sustainability and our heritage.
Our visual aesthetics, our food, wellbeing and our surrounding landscape is our passion, and we take great pleasure in knowing what we are eating and where the produce has come from, hence growing almost all our food and working with some great Irish producers. What remains of our once 2000 acre historic Quaker farm, we are in the process of turning into a haven for flora and fauna. A giant nature reserve is our dersire with organic fields of barley, oats and vegetabls, herbs and fruits of all kinds to feed our family and many guests who visit each year. We are in the process of developing a micro distillery that will allow us to produce our own botanical inspried drinks along side Whiskey and Gin.
We, James and Joanna, both grew up in Irish country houses. Our background is photographing and designing interiors and hospitality, growing and eating good food, travelling and living life to the max, and more recently welcoming guests to Burtown to enjoy all that we are developing here.
